It's a magical place where the whole family can immerse themselves in an enchanting atmosphere.

Whizz through the snowy fells on a snowmobile safari, speed through the wilderness and weave through the forest on a husky excursion or glide through the snow on a reindeer sleigh ride. There are all pre-bookable before you go or through your Inghams Destination Expert in resort.
